So Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Oh, my goodness, Ted is overcome with emotion, but Bruce is as cool as a cucumber.

                                      • -

Our marriage is hanging by a thread.
You two have to stop bickering.
I know. I really love Sarah. I don't want to lose her.
You need to level with her.
You're right.
Honesty is the best policy.
I'll give it my best shot.
By the way, tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
Oh, thanks for reminding me!

Oh, sorry, the day after tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
Oh, okay.
Oh, no, no. Oh, it's over.

Well...
Poor guy.
What a friends for?
Yeah.
Heart broken.

But it's his own fault.
You are talking about Ted?
Yes. It's Ted's own fault.
Well, you remember how this story started?
Yeah, pretty much.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
Well...
There was a party and Ted wanted to stay and watch football.
Oh, the party next door or something.
Yes.
Yeah. He wanted to watch a super ball, which I can kind of understand.
Uh-huh.
But, he spent a lot of time in front of the television set, kind of a couch potato.

But we found that he had or has stress at work so sometimes that makes people when they get home, they just think, "Oh, I want to turn off my brain and just be a vegetable."
Yeah.

Well, Sarah is also working, right? She has a job.
She does.
Yeah, she has a job too.
Yes.
And Ted said she has a demanding job.
Uh-huh.
And Ted said also that his workload has increased substantially.
Yes.
Yes.
OK! So they are going through this huge stress.
Stress... but they are newly married too, aren't they?
Oh, yeah. They've been married like a year or so?
Yeah, that's all.
The honeymoon is over.
Yeah?

Well, we are talking about reconciliation.
Oh, yes, we are. Yes, we are.
Nice, Jeff.
I've been waiting for this, a happy ending, I hope.
Let's hope so.

I've been waiting for this.
Oh, I love happy ending.
Here's a handkerchief for you.
Thank you.
He's taking her to the ballet.
Yeah, that's....
That's very uplifting.
Yes.

                                                        • -

So, Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like this time?
They are standing out in the cold this time.

                          • -

What beautiful roses!
I'm sorry. Let's put our differences behind us.
I'm sorry, too. I take back all the bad things I said.
I love you no matter what.
And I love you, too, through thick and thin.
Here.
What's this?
Two tickets to the ballet. It's high time I spent some time with my beautiful wife.

Sorry, I couldn't catch the last words.
It's high time I spent some time with my beautiful wife.
It's high time you spent some... what?
With my beautiful wife.
Those words are warming me up.
Me too.

Well, that's the coldest love scene I've ever seen or heard, I think. Thank you.
Pretty cold I would say.
So it looks like they are putting their differences ...
... behind them.
It certainly does.
I'm so glad.
Yes. Love has conquered.

In order to do that though you first have to find...
... find the differences.
The differences.
That's right. And then you can put them behind them.
Well, they seem to know what the differences were. Remember they said, "We are not compatible."
Great.
Yeah.
They are lucky. They found their differences and they still want to put them behind them.
Right.
.... and continue their relationship.
Very true.
So what happens from now on.
Wow! I don't know.
We are just ....
We have two more days.
That's right, two more days! We just have to listen and find out.
Wow!

All I can give you is my time.
I'll treasure this forever. Thank you. I got you something too.
A Warlox watch! Just what I've always wanted!
There's something engraved on the back.
"You are the love of my life.!
That says it all.

Look at the back of your locket pendant.
Oh! Oh, Ahhh "Laughter is the best medicine."

Oh, my goodness.
So, what was on the back of his Warlox watch?
Well, it says "Laughter is the best medicine."
Oh, I see.
I agree but that's a little bit much.

They were.

So he was the love of her life and she was the love of his life.
That's right.
Yes.
I think that they will treasure each other forever.
Treasure each other's timepiece too.

Well, sure, but Ken...
Each other's company.
more important to ... yes ... to treasure each other forever.
Oh, year, sure. Well, in a few words, what is the love of your life, Katie?

Well, since I'm not married yet, it's not my husband.
Okay.
So I'd have to say it's my family.
All right. What about you, Jeff?

Well, besides family, which I would have said too, maybe gardening or playing the guitar.
Oh, you love both of the ... right ... yeah.
I love both of those.
I see.

Okay. okay, I'll pick up my socks.
